Both, but most of the mass expulsed by the explosion was in the form of ash
The town that got covered by lava is called Pompeii. It was a Roman city near Naples, Italy, which was buried under volcanic ash and pumice during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.
The year AD 79. It spanned 2 days straight and covered the whole town in 25 metres of Ash and Lava
The Italian city that was covered in lava when Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD was Pompeii. The eruption buried the city under a thick layer of ash and pumice, preserving it for centuries and providing a unique glimpse into daily Roman life.
If you mean the population around Pompeii after the eruption, it was 0. The entire place was covered in pumice and ash and once the looters were finished the area was abandoned.If you mean the population around Pompeii after the eruption, it was 0.

In Pompeii, the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD covered the city in a layer of volcanic ash and pumice. This ash layer preserved buildings, artifacts, and human remains, providing a unique snapshot of life in ancient Rome. Excavations have uncovered well-preserved frescoes, mosaics, and everyday objects, offering insights into the daily lives of Pompeii's inhabitants.
There is only one volcano near Pompeii, and in AD 79 it erupted with such force that the ash and lava entirely covered Pompeii. Many of the inhabitants were killed and their body shapes prerserved by the ash and lava.

It was buried in 4 to 6 metres of ash
Pompeii was covered in 9 feet of volcanc ash when Vesuvius erupted.
Yes, it erupted! The best account we have of the eruption is by Pliny the Younger. He lost his uncle Pliny the Elder during the eruption. Pompeii was swallowd by tons of ash and lava which then set in the town. Today, as it is being unearthed there are much things preserved such as murals and houses. The depictions are quite forthcoming in that they would be considered absolutely inappropriate to have painted in your town today but in a word, your answer is "yes"
No. First, Pompeii was buried by volcanic ash, not lava. Either way, the eruption that buried Pompeii was nearly 2,000 years ago. The ash cooled long ago.
Pompeii
This question makes no sense.
The lava that buried Pompeii was primarily composed of volcanic ash and pumice rather than solid lava flows. The depth of the deposits varied, but in many areas, it reached up to 6 meters (about 20 feet). The eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD primarily involved pyroclastic flows and ash fallout, which covered the city and preserved it in remarkable detail.
Zero. Pomeii was buried under ash and pumice from an eruption of Mount Vesuvius, but not affected by hot lava. for more info check out the Related Links below (Really-visit the interactive site!) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pompeii http://www.harcourtschool.com/activity/pompeii/

Lava did not enter the streets of Pompeii. When Vesuvius erupted in 79 it did so explosivley, blasting material into the air where it became ash and pumice. Pompeii was buried to a depth of 20 feet.
